He explained that he was addicted to the painkillers prescribed after his liposuction surgery. He also started to take them more during the Life of Pablo tour, he admitted. The tour then ended early after he was hospitalized.

“I had plastic surgery because I was trying to look good for y’all,” he told TMZ.

Kanye is not happy with the amount of medicine he was prescribed, and thinks it speaks to a larger issue in America.
